“Deputies discovered Washington and Lewis attempting to steal aluminum wheels, worth over $21,000, off of six trucks on the lot,” Myers said. “When the deputies approached Washington and Lewis, both fled on foot. Following a brief pursuit, they were apprehended without incident.”

Myers said the men had a drill, lug wrench, floor jack, bolt cutters and two cardboard boxes filled with wooden blocks.

“Washington was in possession of a set of keys to a U-Haul truck, which was located two blocks from the car dealership parked at Sulphur High School,” Myers said.

No bond was set.

Sulphur men charged with drug possession

Two Sulphur men have been charged with three counts of drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, authorities said.

“When the deputy approached the SUV and spoke with the men they began to act suspiciously,” Myers said. “The deputy found two bags of marijuana, three bags of crystal meth, 18 Klonopin pills, five Xanax pills, a digital scale, two spoons, three syringes filled with a cloudy liquid and two empty syringes.”

Harris was also charged with first-offense marijuana possession, driving with a suspended license. Mercer was also charged with third-offense marijuana possession.

Harris’ bond was set at $20,000 while Mercer’s was set at $10,000.
